Why? They're not scientists; not even programmers. Every texting
kid with a smartphone is a computer user.
I'm mostly interested in online harware which can be easily 0wn3d
for bootstrap purposes.
http://www.securityfocus.com/news/490 hasn't turned true, so far,
and neither are there major smartphone worms. So PCs are perhaps
still interesting, though not their users.
Don't you think that as the number of computer users increases there
will be more interesting people writing code, solving problems,
communicating, etc.? Even if it's a small fraction of the total
increase, I welcome our future colleagues and collaborators. This is
more acceleration.
